There was something that Yu Dechen did not tell the truth to his friends.
He said that Lin Zi wanted him to work in the Military Intelligence Department, and it seemed that he had been spotted.
But in fact, when Lin Zi was selecting personnel from the Quanzhen Sect, he thought Yu Deshen was a bit dull and was not very satisfied. Instead, Yu Deshen worked hard to persuade Lin Zi to get this job for him.
"Sir Lin, I have been a spy and have experience."
At that time, Lin Zi asked: "Do you have any experience in assassinating King Qin during Qingfu and being incited to rebel?"
Yu Dechen thought for a while and responded: "It is not shameful to be instigated by the King of Qin."
Lin Zi was slightly stunned.
"Mu Taoist is actually quite good at talking, and he's a little quick-witted."
Later, when Yu Dechen talked to his friends, he unknowingly added some small boasts. As a Taoist, he was very ashamed of this.
The reason why he brags is because he always feels that he has no confidence in front of them. This guilt is not because his official position and money are not as good as others. Yu Dechen has long looked down on these.
He felt that he had done too little.
Sometimes he heard Jiang Di, Sun Deyu, and Li Zhaocheng talk about various major events that happened in Guanzhong, such as underestimating people's wealth, undermining people's corvee, and building water conservancy. Although he didn't understand it, he could still feel the prosperity.
People are united in their efforts to reorganize the Han family, and even Taoist disciples who value tranquility and inaction are eager to try it.
They are all shouldering important responsibilities, so he also wants to have his share of the credit and be as proud as they are when talking about it...
So Yu Dechen came to Taiyuan.
When Wang Chengye decided to evacuate, he did not hesitate to offer to stay and break up the family.
Just after burning all the dossier information in the stove, the Mongolian army surrounded Xinghua Lane.
Yu Dechen deliberately killed one person to attract the attention of his pursuers.
Precisely because of this, the pursuers were very sure that they were still in the city and continued to blockade Taiyuan City, giving Wang Chengye and his group at least one day to escape.
If everything goes well, he will wait for the storm to pass, and after Taiyuan City is unblocked, he will leave the city and hide in the Sanqing Temple in the east of the city.
When the Military Intelligence Department sends more people, he can arrange identities for them, help them get familiar with Taiyuan, and establish a new intelligence base.
He was very satisfied that his first trip north to be a spy was effective, and he thought it would not be too embarrassing to talk about it after returning to Chang'an...
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Dechen put the hairpin in his hair, straightened his skirt, and left the house where he was hiding.
He walked to the alley with his head lowered and saw a group of soldiers approaching from a distance. He calmly turned into another alley.
…
A member of the household walked into the alley holding a knife, squinted at the figure in the undershirt passing by in front of him, licked his lower lip, and shouted to the households in a room: "Have you seen a young Taoist priest?
"
"No...no, Master Bing..."
Behind the hundred households, a scoundrel man stepped forward quickly and said, "Master Bing, you are right. I saw the Taoist priest yesterday and saw him at the entrance of this alley."
Baihu nodded, waved his hand, and shouted: "Search!"
The soldiers and government officials kicked open the doors of each house, searched each house, and identified them with portraits.
Someone was very puzzled and asked: "Aren't we trying to catch Song Guoxizuo who kidnapped the commander-in-chief? Why are we looking for a Taoist priest?"
"Do you know how Song Guoxizuo came all the way to Taiyuan? Among them was a young Taoist priest who pretended to be the nephew of Sanqing Guantong Zhenren and deceived him along the way. Look at his portrait, he is so handsome but so despicable...
"
There is a Sanqing Temple in Taiyuan. More than ten years ago, Taoist priest Piyunzi Song Defang presided over the teaching affairs of Sanqing Temple.
Song Defang was a disciple of Qiu Chuji, and the Khan's court gave him the title of "Xuandu Zhidao Zhenren", and he was a generation of Taoist masters. Although Song Defang has passed away, his disciple Tongzhen Zhi'an Qin Zhi'an presides over Sanqing Temple, which is still very prestigious among Shanxi people.
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they all responded: "This is too abominable."
"These Song state spies just want to commit crimes when entering the country, but they dare to ruin the name of the founder of the Three Qing Dynasty!"
"Look what you said, how can you forget about entering the country to commit murder..."
~~
At Sanqingguan, Hao Tianju was also talking with Qin Zhi'an about the detailed works of the Song Dynasty.
"It is true that they came to Shanxi in the name of Tongzhen Zhenren. My seventh brother found out that they stayed in Yulong Cave in Qi County on the night of the 13th. Recently, the inspection was originally strict, but the local patrol mistakenly thought that they were
My disciple, have you been negligent?"
"Does Marshal Hao think that the old Taoist has colluded with these craftsmen?"
"That's not what I meant."
Qin Zhi'an gently waved Fuchen in his hand and sighed: "I, the Longmen Sect, learned from the Quanzhen Sect, but the Quanzhen Zhongnan Mountain ancestral court has been occupied by the Song Dynasty. This time, the Song Dynasty's master must be from Quanzhen, right?"
Speaking of these things, the old Taoist also felt a little worried.
In these years, first he lost the debate on Buddhism and Taoism, and then Zhongnan Mountain was occupied by Li Xia. Taoism in the north turned from prosperity to decline, and it was so fast that people were caught off guard.
what to do?
With how powerful Mongolia is today, can it still imitate the great event of the great ancestor Changchun who traveled thousands of miles to meet Genghis Khan's dragon and horse?
With these thoughts in his mind, Qin Zhi'an did not wait for Hao Tianju to question him, but instead spoke first and said: "There is such a traitor in Quanzhen, and the old Taoist is also heartbroken. But what is even more heartbreaking is that the master has been bullied by the Zhengyi sect. The old Taoist is looking forward to the great Mongolia."
Guoneng will regain Guanzhong as soon as possible."
"Yes Yes."
Hao Tianju invited Qin Zhian here because he originally wanted to suspect that Sanqingguan was colluding with Xizuo, but he didn't expect that the other party actually made demands. The conversation was quite boring.
"Then please forgive me, Master, and allow me to search for Sanqing Temple."
Qin Zhi'an closed his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart.
He knew that there was no elaborate work in the temple, so he was not afraid of being searched. However, the place where Taoism was cultivated was trampled by the government officials.
In the past, how would Hao Tianju dare to treat the Quanzhen Sect like this?
"Marshal Hao please."
No matter what Qin Zhian thought, he could no longer refuse, so he could only nodded slowly.
…
After searching the Sanqing Temple, Hao Tianju still found nothing, but when he returned to the city, he still invited Qin Zhian to Taiyuan City to help identify the masterpiece with a true origin.
His attitude was very polite, but what this move actually revealed was distrust.
Worried that Qin Zhian would assist the other party, he simply invited him to Hao Mansion.
Since Qin Zhi'an had already tolerated the search of the Taoist temple, he could only agree to it at this time.
"Then the old man will go with the marshal."
His demeanor when he agreed was still free and easy, with a fairy-like demeanor, and there was no hint of compromise, helplessness, or dissatisfaction...
Walking all the way to the east gate of Taiyuan City, we saw that the gate was only half opened, allowing only one person to enter or exit. We could faintly see that there were many business travelers and ordinary people lined up in the city who wanted to enter and exit Taiyuan City.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have been searching with great fanfare for four days. Today we can let people in and out of the city gate, but the interrogation is extremely strict. There are several portraits posted at the city gate. In addition to Wang Xun and Hao Tianyi, there are also portraits based on the Taoist paintings of Yulong Cave in Qixian County.
The portrait of Yu Dechen...
As soon as Hao Tianju's carriage arrived, all the people lined up inside and outside the city were rushed aside to wait in line.
When they saw Master Tongzhen of Sanqing Temple on the carriage, many people paid homage to him and showed great respect.
Qin Zhi'an held Fuchen in his hand and sat on the carriage, his old eyes always looking at the people on the roadside.
He sincerely hopes that the world will be peaceful and there will no longer be wars. He also hopes that these things can end as soon as possible, so that the Hao family no longer has to search randomly, disturb the people, and disturb the purity of the Taoist sect...
Suddenly, Qin Zhian's eyes narrowed and fell on a woman on the side of the road.
This woman was also peeking at him just now. After looking at each other off guard, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Qin Zhi'an thought she looked familiar at first, but then he took a closer look and realized that she seemed to be a man disguised as a woman. When he thought about it again, he seemed to have met her once in Zhongnan Mountain a few years ago, and she was one of the disciples of Senior Brother Qi Zhicheng.
For a moment, he hesitated.
But out of his desire to calm down the trouble and his thirty-year surrender to Mongolia, he raised his hand and stopped the carriage out of habit.
Before he spoke, Hao Tianju, who was sitting aside, looked in the direction Qin Zhian pointed and saw a woman raising her head.
Hao Tianju was a little puzzled at first that Qin Zhian, a Taoist priest, was still staring at the young lady like this despite his age, and then he suddenly realized...
"Get him! Get the one in the red skirt!"
However, when the soldiers rushed forward, what was unexpected was that the young Taoist priest dressed as a woman by the road did not run away, but instead rushed towards them.
…
Wearing a red dress, Yu Dechen passed by the soldiers one by one. He grabbed a single sword and with a swipe, he immediately chopped down one of the soldiers.
This caused all the surrounding soldiers to become confused.
In fact, they still didn't understand why they suddenly wanted to arrest a woman on the roadside. Did Marshal Hao San suddenly become interested or something?
"Get him!" Hao Tianju shouted.
The moment Yu Dechen refused to retreat but advanced, he was also frightened.
The distance between the two sides was only about twenty steps from the middle of the road to the roadside. When I saw the soldiers being chopped down to the ground one by one, Yu Deshen's skills were so good that it was a bit scary.
"Get him...stop him! Stop him!"
"Get her!"
"..."
In the moment of these two words, the scene was already in chaos.
Qin Zhi'an still felt a little sad and guilty, but he knew there was nothing he could do.
But in his helpless and pitiful eyes, the woman in the red dress jumped onto the carriage like an arrow.
The two sides were getting closer and closer, and Qin Zhi'an could see Yu Dechen's eyes.
After falling under the rule of the enemy, Yu Dechen did not become confused and hesitant as he thought. On the contrary, although he was dressed in women's clothing, he looked extremely determined.
Yu Dechen was not uninjured.
He rushed to the carriage in a few steps. Although he was very skilled in martial arts and was stabbed several times, he was not stopped by anyone.
"stop……"
Hao Tianju was still shouting for someone to protect him, but the single knife in Yu Deshen's hand had already penetrated his neck.
"puff."
Blood spattered right in front of Qin Zhian's eyes.
He, an old Taoist priest, had been helpless and compromising, but only then did he realize that Hao Tianju was so weak and incompetent.
